Interesting read. Building internet infrastructure above the clouds could solve a lot of centralization issues while making connectivity more resilient and accessible.

It was one of the beautiful things about the internet, but its become centralized.

Using satellites for a fre open internet sounds powerful for places with weak or censored connections. But if one company controls the system it could end up being the same problem again

Makes sense—centralized internet is weak to failures and expensive. Building above clouds could bring better, cheaper access for many people.✌✌

Everything now is being built in the cloud. Would be cool to see how this turns out

Centralized internet is a single point of failure. Maybe it’s time to go sky-high.

Definitely is... Also GPS & satellites in general.

It's a huge reason I am invested in quantum GPS. The world is not ready for an extended outage where we lose GPS and comms
